Last season, Kakuta struggled for playing time in the Spanish La Liga, making 12 appearances with a goal to his credit as Rayo Vallecano dropped to the Segunda division.
The 28-year-old will be aiming for success in a familiar environment where he scored six goals in 36 French Ligue 1 outings two seasons ago.
